Commercial: Entech Wins KNX UK Installation Of The Year For ITV Offices

EnTech offered their services to BAS, via the project consultants Troup, Bywaters and Anders. EnTech were then tasked with streamlining the design and delivery process of the building control system to be installed at the ITV offices. EnTech’s design team suggested a full KNX field bus solution to cover all aspects of the lighting, HVAC, metering and sub-system monitoring, enabling all services outside of the core plant areas to be picked up by the KNX bus.

Entech's solution dramatically reduced installation times and costs as there was no longer the need for multiple cabling for separate systems. The design also reduced sensor and control duplication – again cutting costs, reducing points of failure and improving the aesthetic by providing less cluttered ceilings and control points.

A number of KNX devices from KNX UK member Theben were used on this project. They included 300 PresenceLight 360 B KNX Presence Detectors and their remote controls: RMG switch actuators from ther MIX series; Luna 131KNX out door brightness and temperature detectors; the Amun 716 high quality air Sensor, Varia 826 multi-function display and temperature sensor as well as the power supplies.
